New cells in connective tissue open up strategy against pancreatic cancer

Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may therefore be a target for research into new treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer.

“We are still a long way from treatment, but this may show a viable path for further research,” says Daniel Öhlund, associate professor at Umeå…
